  • BUBBAJER02/21/2012

    Excellent cologne, rich and full bodied. The essence of a banker or lawyer. Goes to the top of my most used colognes.

  • A. BOREALIS07/05/2011

    If I could describe it in two words: simply amazing. This btl of magic is warm, elegant, sensual and definitely will make you stick out in the crowd. It's worth it's price tag, lasts very long and I use it only for evenings and some formal occasions.

  • FRED N11/09/2009

    Very much all the things that make Guerlain what it is in a modernized package. A touch of citrus with woody and vanillic notes to follow. A modernized Habit Rouge. The EdP version is even better but hard to find. Very well done!

  • JUDE C09/25/2008

    Finally got a hold of this juice. Great Stuff. Guerlain scents are all classy, and this stuff is the design house's first really modern scent for men. Definitely smells like vera wang, but much better lasting power. L'instant is more subtle, but lasts longer. Overall, top notch, up there with Vetiver, from this legend Parisan company. Highly suggest!!!!!! Like vera wang scent a little more, but VW lasting power below average.

  • DARRSHAN01/18/2008

    try burberrys london for men in a brown khakhi packing, its awesome and yes very rich and deep. leave l'instant behind.

  • DARRSHAN10/30/2007

    i bought a big 125ml after reading the comments, but i didnt it anything great. any way how is the womens version edp.pls tell me someone.

  • LESTAT 09/12/2007

    Hey man.I have Banana republic Black walnut. I think it smells awesome.. Let me know how you like it whenever you get it.. I smelled the new Polo I liked it on the paper atleast,should have sprayed on my arm and checked it.O well let me know how you like Polo too. Peace !!

  • TONY T09/06/2007

    tobacco i understand. bro maybe because i am a smoker but tobacco rocks. anyway have you tried black walnut by banana republic?/ tobacco in it also. i have never smelled it but have my bid on it on ebay.

  • LORI09/04/2007

    Ewww No !!!! Whoever said on this post that it smells like old mans cologne is right.

  • LESTAT09/01/2007

    I dont know man this one doesnt have sandalwood or tobacco notes.They do smell alike but Vera has the edge .Just my opinion.

  • TONY T08/29/2007

    u don't like this but u like vera wang. hmm. the 2 are just about the same except for the price tags.

  • LULU08/27/2007

    The fragance is subtle. Doesn't slap you in the face and say I'm here. Just hate those newer scents where it screams at you. Scents should be subtle to try and locate the individual wearing it.

  • LESTAT08/21/2007

    Im not a cologne expert.For that you may wanna look at RobH or WB or TonyT or Barbara's comments. Secondly,for evening fragrances you can choose from Black Code by aramani ,Vera Wang by Vera wang and Bvlgari extreme.V by Valentino( of course there are many more evening fragrances but these are the ones I like ). Good luck!!

  • SHANNON08/20/2007

    for some reason the rating didnt show up.Im pretty sure I rated it.O well here goes again

  • SHANNON08/17/2007

    First of all Iam not another teenie bopper. Iam 28 year old professional woman ( just wanted to throw that in cause people here may think that Iam 16 or 17 ).My boyfriend who is 31 yr old wears this and I told him the exact same thing you said lestat " this cologne smells good but the smell is like Old man cologne. There is no zing or zest in it.Lestat or any other cologne master my boyfriends birthday is coming up any suggestions for casual and evening fragrances ? Thanks guys.

  • RAY08/14/2007

    It's not an old man cologne. This makes about as much sense as your other thoughtless, groundless reviews. Get a life.

  • N2DBLU08/14/2007

    Not an oldman's scent but for all ages really. However more appropriate for formal outings but can work for casual as well.

  • LESTAT08/13/2007

    smells like old mans cologne.. I smelled it when I was in the mall last weekend.. it didnt do it for me

  • BARBARA W07/21/2007

    Rich and luxurious without being too sweet. What do you men think of the women's version?

  • HANNAH H.07/17/2007

    Guys if you want to improve your attraction to the ladies you can't go wrong with L'Instant. Ooh la la va va voom!!!

  • KMF06/02/2007

    Outstanding fragrance. A unique scent that is extremely refined. Probably an over 30 fragrance, but that shouldn't stop anyone from at least sampling some if you happen to see it...

  • WB04/02/2007

    WONDERFUL... JUST SIMPLY WONDERFUL. MY LADY CAN ATTEST TO THAT AS WELL.

  • AMY03/16/2007

    i bought this one and grigioperla based on the reviews and i really love both!! my boyfriend likes this one more than grigio but both are winners. definitely worth buying!!

  • STEVE EMLENTON03/02/2007

    Awfully luxurious, sensuous and relaxing citrusy-floral............at least that's what a dozen beautiful women including my lady think so far. Long-lasting with a nice looking bottle and still seems under the radar even after more than 2 years of its release.

  • ALFIE03/01/2007

    I think this fragrance is more suitable to be called as Shalimar pour homme. The scent is mysterious.

  • MATTHEW01/23/2007

    This stuff is much like Vera Wang, but better and it last a long long time also. Save your money on Vera Wang and move a step above the rest - buy L'Instant from one of the greatest and legendary cologne manufacturers ever...Guerlain! Check out their Vetiver also.

  • FRANK ZAPATTA09/11/2006

    Agree, those are all great scents BUT one more that is in a class of its own... OPUIM EDP try it..

  • MAURICIO09/07/2006

    Hi, I´m a fan of warm and oriental perfumes too, let me sugest some perfumes: Guccy envy, Lui (rochas), Dior Homme (My new favoryte), Jaipur, Arpege Homme and M7; those are wonderful, long lasting oriental-woody fragances. Enjoy. Mauricio

  • D-LICOUS08/30/2006

    I am a fan of warm scents, and I have been pushing my sweet ones to the side, I guess it has to do with getting older. Can anyone suggest more warm scents like this, and mambo, these get me the most compliments from the ladies.

  • AQUARIUS4.707/29/2006

    Highly elegant and luxuriously warm citrus-floral fragrance is first and only scent I've tried from the designer and easily became one of my all-time favorites instantly after I sampled both on paper and skin.

  • CRIS KAANTO06/18/2006

    Love this warm floral-citrus scent as well as anyone who smells it on me. Long-lasting and alluring as hell.

  • FRANK ZAPPATA06/07/2006

    I own both of these & to be honest, both EDT & EDP are great frag's, but they also have something else in common: They are VERY subtle, NOT AROMATIC, if you put on opium EDP, it will last for DAYS, AND IT GETS BETTER, with the drydown being a sort of spicy vanilla scent, and is still AROMATIC. Angel Amen has a simular dry down but not HALF as good, IMO.

  • HAROLD05/31/2006

    Wonderful warm citrusy/floral aroma suits guys of all ages and can be worn casually or for special occasions day or night.

  • JOHNNY05/28/2006

    Reminds me of play-dough. Very over-rated although a quality scent, by no means a classic.

  • RINGO05/15/2006

    the openning smells nothing like Very Irresistable. Givenchy V.I for men has its characteristic sesame and green smells at the opening which nothing else is similar to it. I understand L'instant de Guerlain is a very sucessful allround fragrance, it smells heavy and rich. but nothing light weight like those green fresh notes V.I has as top notes

  • X.G.05/08/2006

    Wonderful and highly elegant cologne in which I agree that it starts out like Vera Wang and definitely has lingers of Boucheron during the drydown. Either way, all three colognes are ab-fab, long-lasting and worth adding to your collection.

  • SAMI04/14/2006

    well, i had a review before, i rated 4 stars, after 2 weeks, i think i overrated l'instant..2 stars from me, and one of the stars, is for the name "guerlain".. may be it is my body chemistry, but i can't smell anything after 15 mins..

  • TONY T04/10/2006

    imo it's a cross between boucheron and very irresistable. opens up like vi with the top notes then subsides to an unbelievable drydown similiar to boucheron. floral/fruity scent is magical but for the 30 and up age bracket imo.

  • SAMI04/03/2006

    i decided to buy this cologne, only from the impression i got, after i read all nice comments on it.. asked a friend who was travelling abroad..57 euros/125 ml at duty free.. well, i liked it yes, but i have used much better ones i must say..

  • GOLD SAINT GEMINI04/03/2006

    Right next to Armani's Code and Vera Wang, (which I agree this does smell very alike) this one of the greatest and most luxurious and elegant fragrances ever created for us guys. Guerlain: rediscovered!

  • CB03/29/2006

    I do not believe in rating cologne's that I do not own unless it is exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. In this case I am giving L'instnat and excellent rating since it reminds me of Vera Wang with greater lasting power. This cocoa smell that Vera doesn't but it translates well once it hits the skin. I will be purchasing this before the start of the summer since the ladies will love this on me during a nice romantic summer sunset.

  • NIKITA 03/10/2006

    I've been dying to smell this cologne ever since I heard about it a year ago. I just wish someone would describe it.

  • RX-802/26/2006

    Wonderful warm and relaxing citric-floral formula that's very long-lasting and will make you stick out in the crowd in a very positive manner. Two thumbs way up!!

  • ONG-BAK02/01/2006

    Fabulous and very luxurious warm citrusy-floral fragrance smells extremely high class and is most definitely the designer's best and is in my top 5 alltime favorites.

  • QUANTUM FIRE01/13/2006

    Very beautiful and highly original fragrance from the house of Guerlain is probably the designer's absolute best to date and a real treat for the man of elegance, luxury and sensuality. Not cheap but definitely worth every penny of its fairly high price.

  • GARY N.01/09/2006

    Very VERY beautiful and luxurious fragrance from the famed designer is the first I've ever sampled and bought from and there's nothing out there that smells like it!! Very sensual, sophisticated and long lasting!!

  • SPACE PILGRIM01/03/2006

    Recently sampled and I am very pleased at this warm, seductive and utterly luxurious fragrance. Well worth it's fairly high price.

  • GRAMMATON CLERIC12/16/2005

    Ultra elegant and luxurious new fragrance from veteran designer Guerlain is kind of an older guy's Vera Wang and KC Signature in which case I've also read reviews that these three all share some similarities.

  • DUC12/13/2005

    It DOES smell a little like Vera Wang at the very first sprays but in a matter of minutes you can definitely differentiate with the Badian crystals and hibiscus seed to give it that warm and sensual sensation. Vera Wang is up there in my collection as well but not nearly as unique and luxurious as this one. Younger guys in their 20s and teens for the most part won't find this scent too appealing and if that's the case then stick to VW.

  • RN12/09/2005

    Yeah, it's a lot like Vera Wang. In fact it's really similar to Baldesarini as well.

  • RMJ12/08/2005

    Is L'instant de guerlain similar to Vera Wang? I just ask because the bottle of this looks almost identical to the Vera Wang bottle, and it is described similarly, plus Rob H. says it sorta reminds him of Vera Wang. I would like to know because i'd like to avoid overlap in my collection for as long as possible.

  • LUCAS12/05/2005

    Impressed, a very unique fragrance. The patchouly note is similar to the one you can find in Baldessarini, but here it is more fascinating. I've always received compliments from everyone when dressing this magic scent.

  • MICK F.11/22/2005

    Of all the fragrances I've ever sampled or owned, this is probably THE MOST elegant and luxurious of them all. As Marco T. had said earlier, L'Instantly bought this!

  • ERMAC11/19/2005

    I'm aware that this one came out around the spring or so of this year and just recently sampled and is a very luxurious and elegant fragrance from a designer who's colognes I've never worn. It definitely holds its value in every store on and off line which I guess would mean that in due time it will be infamous like Armani, Chanel, Acqua di Parma, Amouage, etc. Perhaps this one is a little bit above my league as far as its targeted age bracket which is probably starting in the upper 30s and whose salaries are over $100k/yr.

  • CYNTHIA E. YORKBOROUGH11/14/2005

    You really know what a real woman loves, don't you! Anyways, I just love this newest from Guerlain on my man and in fact this is probably the first time he's ever worn any fragrance from this designer.

  • M.R.11/09/2005

    How ELEGANT IT IS!! Truly one of the most beautiful fragrances a man could wear!! So very luxurious!

  • KENNETH V. RICHELIEU11/04/2005

    A truly and amazing fragrance from famed house of Guerlain. With some refreshing citrus, beautiful florals and some unique notes; this is a rare experience among any modern day cologne out there...........excellent choice!!

  • DANIELE11/01/2005

    One of my favourite fragrance! Its very classy, refined and absolutely new. Versatile, dinamic and warm...Its definetely a great product ! I love the bottle as well!

  • SYLVIA J10/31/2005

    This past Sweetest Day, I bought this for my man being that the lady at the fragrance store suggested this being that my man likes GQ, classy, refined and warm fragrances. Oh my goodness, do I just wanna rip his clothes off whenever he wears this!!

  • STEVE YOUNG09/30/2005

    Guerlain's latest is a beautiful, elegant, and utterly luxurious masterpiece that lasts all day and is great for formal outings.

  • LECLERC09/20/2005

    Smells like an Monsieur Swann in Marcel Proust's novels - smart, elegant, romantic, artistic, and snobby . This is perhaps Guerlain's most versatile colognes and also has the most depth. It lasts long and the high notes take a delightful turn as it wears away with time and perspiration. It probably has a slightly more romantic/evening edge than Office. The smell is distinct, but not too weired or easy to pinn down. I rate this as one of the few Outstanding ones on the market along with Chanel's Allure, Bvlgari Homme, and Lanvin.

  • VICTOR RICHLAND CREIGHTON III09/13/2005

    This is the first time I've ever worn a fragrance from designer Guerlain and I must say I am most impressed. This ab-fab scent is very warm, elegant and luxurious and is probably most suitable to the gents from the mid 30s and up......just my opinion.

  • RN09/12/2005

    Probably the best of the Guerlain frgrances. A lot better than Heritage. I'm really glad to finaly have it, and I think it's one of the best in my collection. It's definetly a masculine scent that creates a unique warm sensation. I haven't smelled anything like it, yet. Has something similar with Chaleur, but it's a lot better and much more expensive.

  • RN09/01/2005

    I haven't tried this yet, I just saw it on this site, and I'm just curious to know what it smells like. None of the reviews below describe the smell, and the site's description is a little confusing. Can someone maybe describe it? I haven't tried Vera Wang either, so I wouldn't know if they're similar. Thanks.

  • MR. D08/28/2005

    wow, smells amazing, I usually go for trendy sweet smells, but I guess I am maturing. a girl smelled this on me, and this started our conversation. She ended with asking for my phone #. I only had a free sample that I got at the mall. I have to buy it now.

  • SYNERGY08/01/2005

    A great alternative to Vera Wang. The ladies love this warm floral/citrusy fragrance on me!

  • W.B.07/25/2005

    I TRIED THIS OVER WEEKEND AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT'S ORIGINALITY AND REFINEMENT OF THE SCENT ITSELF. IT COULD BE GUERLAIN'S BEST COLOGNE IN DUE TIME.

  • JULIAN C. STRATUSON07/22/2005

    This is Guerlain's best to date in my opinion and one of the most elegant and luxurious aromas I've ever smelled. A sleeper for the time being.

  • K. WIMPINO07/19/2005

    A shocker of a scent from Guerlain and the designer's best to date. I do agree that is DOES smell a little like Vera Wang at first but the drydown is significantly different. Both are great, though.

  • MARCO TESTAVERDE07/01/2005

    Sampled this warm and luxurious floral fragrance from Guerlain recently and snatched a big bottle right away! EXCELLENT STUFF!!

  • ROB H.06/14/2005

    I have smelled this brand new fragrance from Guerlain on a card and so far the first sprays remind me a little of Vera Wang for men. The drydown on it smells a luxurious fruity-floral so far. I'll have to see if I can go somewhere and spray it on my wrist to see if chemistry plays a big role with this one, until then it's a wonderful scent.

  • MICHAEL06/09/2005

    A big disappointment after such greats as Vetiver, Habit Rouge, Heritage, and especially the impossible to get Derby.
